RE: The Old Dog Asks: If It's Presented As An Art Exhibit Does That Make it Good?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if enough people say its art, it is to them
.but I'm with u, that shits ugly

Since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, a dissolute and depraved eye is going to find some real crap to be "beautyful."
On the other hand, I have seen some really magnificent works commissioned by some very cruel and depraved people (the Meidicis for instance) and the relationship between art and suffering is tenuous, complex, and hard to define, but very real.
Art never has to look great. For me its more about the emotion it projects than anything else. I find some of the more “beautiful” pieces of art work out there rather boring, and filled with emptiness like the soul of the artist was sucked out .
